Mr. Choate to Mr. Hay.

[Telegram.—Paraphrase.]
American Embassy,
London, May 15, 1902.

(Mr. Choate reports that the British Government expresses grateful appreciation of the generous offer of aid to the sufferers at St. Vincent, and is communicating it to the governor of the Windward Islands and asking him to state the most immediate needs. On receipt of the governor’s reply the British Government hopes to avail itself of the offer of the United States Government. Meanwhile, any gifts sent to the care of the governor at St. Vincent will be gladly received and distributed.)
